McDonald's Teases Return of El Maco from 14 January 2026 1McDonald’s Australia has officially teased the return of a much-loved menu item – the El Maco – with a launch date of 14 January 2026. The burger last appeared in November 2022, and fans have been calling for its return ever since. Known for its bold flavours and unique twist on a classic Macca’s burger, the El Maco is set to make waves again this summer.

What’s in the El Maco?

The El Maco features two juicy beef patties, cheese, lettuce, fresh tomato, and a rich layer of El Maco salsa. It’s topped with sour cream and served on a sesame seed bun, giving it a flavour profile that stands apart from the usual burger lineup.

The signature El Maco salsa is what really sets it apart, delivering a mild Mexican-inspired kick that fans love. Combined with the creamy sour cream and fresh toppings, the result is a burger that’s both hearty and refreshing.

When and Where to Get It

The El Maco will be available nationwide at participating McDonald’s locations starting Tuesday, 14 January 2026. As with previous promotions, it will be available for a limited time only, and offered through in-store ordering, drive-thru, and the MyMacca’s app.
